As a consequence, economic activity in many sectors can be inefficiently low, and interest-rate policy cannot eliminate the distortions—not because of a limit on the extent to which interest rates can be reduced, but because interest-rate reductions fail to stimulate demand of the right sorts. Fiscal transfers are instead well suited to addressing the fundamental problem, and can under certain circumstances achieve a first-best allocation of resources. – Reproduced   aThe American Economic Review    aMONETARY POLICY  cAR  00102ddc40709395237aIIPAbIIPAd2022-12-26h112(5), May, 2022: p.1475-1521pAR127740r2022-12-26yAR
